does the clown host the gsp and if so how long did it take and does it upset the gsp?

great tank by the way

 

[Discdogge]

It's not hard, my tank is only 6months old now.

Thank you for the compliment. Im so proud of my tank, since basically Im a newbie and this is my first tank.

Thanks,

Yes she does host in the GSP, the gsp doesnt seem to mind at all.
He was in the tank about a month before he made it his home, I had a huge 10inch hammer in there that I thought for sure she would host in , but no luck. As soon as I sold it, he moved into the gsp.

Im getting another true perc on thurs or friday and Im interested to see what happens.

Ive been told true percs will host in most anything. I don't want an anenome moving all over my zoanthids, so I wont get one.

Awesome set up! Nice coralline coverage. I love your yellow watchman goby. I'm gonna get one for my nano soon!

Does anyone think a 150w MH is too much for this? I have the option to upgrade from my 70w for almost nothing.

I dont have any sps and don't plan on getting any.

I worried about it actually being too much for my zoos

 

[Henry22]

If you can get the 70w for almost nothing, and dont plan on getting any SPS, then I think that would be good enough. But dont take my word on it.(Brings back memories of reading rainbow)

 

[Discdogge]

I have the 70w already. I just have the oppertunity to upgrade to the 150w for only 30$ more ....

just dont know if its too much...

Even with the 150w?

Also, while I wait for my 150w fixture (about a week) I have to use stock aquapod pc lighting(64w)...is this going to be a danger to my clam?

Thanks for your help

 

[mister crabs]

[Discdogge]

Thanks,
I really like him as well. I just added a bicolor blenny and that fish has so much personality. I just love seeing him pop his head out of rocks.

Im still considering adding a yellow clown goby and then another true perc if I can ever find one healthy. Im not having any luck locally at all.

Even my LFS's cant get one in and if they do it dies.
A few months ago I had to go 6 weeks no fish b.c of brook.
